There is a large dark semi-circular shape to the left, intersected by a field of small circular shapes arranged in a grid pattern. Above are bold, stylized letters spelling out "BED" and "RED," and below that, the word "YELLOW" is partially obscured by a large downward-pointing arrow. The letters "BLUE" sit at the bottom in a darker area that resembles a checkerboard pattern.
